7 Little-Known Facts About Male Orgasm

A lot of attention has been put lately on the mysterious world of the female orgasm,
while the male orgasm has been left alone, taken for granted for being
too straightforward (bad pun fully intended.).

While the world scrambles
to figure out the secrets of female sexuality, it oftentimes forgets we
still do not know everything about men.

That’s right, guys, your
sexuality is just as much an uncharted island of curiosities as the
ladies’ is, and science is still trying to figure you out.

So what
exactly do we not know about male orgasms? It turns out, there's a lot.
Like, did you know that men have the potential to have multiple
orgasms? Did you also know that men who ejaculate more frequently are
believed to have a reduced incidence of cancer?

Here are 7 Facts about a man’s
happiest moment.

1. Frequent ejaculation may lower your risk of cancer

As if orgasms couldn’t get any better, they also have the potential to fight cancer. A study
presented at this year’s annual meeting of the American Urological
Association in New Orleans found that men who reported a higher
frequency or ejaculation (about 21 times per month) reduced their risk
of prostate cancer by 20 percent.

Dr. Jennifer Rider, an author of the
study, claims this is most likely due to the release of the hormones
like oxytocin, which is known to lower blood pressure. So, if your
partner asks next time you want to do it, it’s strictly for health
purposes.

2. Sperm's at its best when it comes earlier [bad pun once again intended]

The first wave tends to have sperm that have better quality DNA, are more mobile, and more numerous.

When
a male ejaculates, different waves of semen are released in separate
contractions. Scientists believe that the first wave tends to be higher
quality than the second because the first wave is designated to
fertilize the egg, while the second prevents other guys from finishing
your work for you.

While premature ejaculation (PE) may be a serious hit to your ego, it turns out that not holding out has psychological repercussions for your partner.

According to a study published by The Journal of Sexual Medicine,
women whose guys tended to finish a little early reported feeling high
psychological stress and little sexual satisfaction, but not for the
reasons you may think.

Although women usually take longer to climax then
men, women whose partners had issues with PE felt less strongly about
their partner's lack of duration, and more strongly about their
partner's paying less attention to their needs.

To about 40 percent of
these women, the sexual aggravation mostly came from feeling their men
were being selfish in the bedroom.

3. Orgasms during sex reign supreme

While you may not need science to
tell you this, researchers went ahead and proved it anyway, finding
orgasms during sex are significantly better than the ones you experience
on your own.

A 2006 study
discovered that sex orgasms tend to be earth-shattering because your
body releases 400 times more prolactin than it does when you’re flying
solo.

Although prolactin is often known as the breast milk hormone, recent research has also found that low levels of prolactin affect men’s sexual health, too, and could lead to erectile dysfunction.

4. It's faster than a speeding bullet

Okay, maybe not that fast, but it’s still pretty remarkable. According to Men’s Health,
the average speed of male ejaculation is 28 miles per hour. Usain
Bolt’s fastest recorded speed falls short compared to this number, at
27.79 miles per hour. That’s right, ejaculation speed is faster than the
fastest man on earth. You may want to refrain from entering any races,
though.

5. Male and female orgasms may be more similar than we think

Turns out the duration and intensity
of an orgasm doesn’t vary based on gender. Instead, orgasms are
different among different people and can usually come in two forms.

A
study published in Psychology Today
claims that there are two forms of orgasms;

Type 1 happens most
frequently, consisting of 6 to 15 high intensity contractions over a 20-
to 30-second period.

The other kind, type 2, happens to a smaller
amount of people who will experience irregular contractions after the
initial orgasm, lasting 30 to 90 seconds.

Like I said, this varied on a case-by-case basis. The male vs. female debate is pretty much irrelevant.

6. There is such a thing as a "dry orgasm"

A dry orgasm, better known as a retrograde orgasm,
occurs when semen enters the bladder instead of exiting the penis
during ejaculation.

This usually happens if a pre-existing health
condition causes the muscle controlling the opening to the bladder to
malfunction when semen is travelling.

You will still experience an
orgasm if this happens, but little to no semen will be expelled. While
dry orgasms do not cause many health issues, it has often been
associated with male infertility.

Treatment for this issue is only
recommended if you are trying to become a father.

7. Men can have multiple orgasms — it just takes work

Everyday Health
reports that most men feel multiple orgasms are impossible with an
average 30-minute refractory period between sexual activity.

However,
some men are able to orgasm without ejaculation, which many believe is
the key to achieving multiple orgasms.

There are men out
there who are penis senseis, and they’ve mastered the art of having
multiple orgasms in one period.

The answer? Training.

According to Men’s Health,
multiple orgasms can be achieved by doing things like managing your
testosterone levels, practicing your own form of Kegel exercises, or
changing up the position during sex.

Everyday Health
warns that your mind has a lot to do with it; the more pressure you
feel, the less likely it is to happen. The best way to go about it is to
relax, and just enjoy yourself.From Medical DailyPhoto By Shutterstock
